Warning: This article contains offensive language. It’s not for the faint of heart. But this is an important topic that needs to be brought to light! Here’s the story. Two days ago, I sent out a video invitation to my new mentoring program for 2012. Frankly, I am beyond excited about it, because I was inspired with a way of delivering my program that actually would allow me to GUARANTEE my client’s financial results. I’ve invested in plenty of high-end programs without receiving a direct financial result. And I just feel it’s time we do things differently! So here I am, thrilled and pretty darn nervous to birth my new brain child and give it life beyond my own consciousness. Beside the mentoring applications I received (thank you, thank you! And you can still apply … so go to http://www.empoweredsoul.com/money-mentoring/ if you haven’t checked it out yet!) I also received this lovely email: “Money hungry whore, smart idea but greedy, greedy beyond comprehension. how the fuck do i unsubscribe? P.S – KILL YOURSELF” Lovely, right? In the past, this type of email used to upset me – a lot! Mean emails actually used to make me cry. (Hey, I’m a psychic,…
Here’s one thing that you do not need to worry about as a brand-new entrepreneur who is struggling to find their first few clients: Leverage. Leverage in business is a lovely concept. Leverage means we invest less of our time, and still manage to reach more people, change more lives. Leverage in business means we create “scalable” systems … you can enroll an unlimited number of customers or clients without investing more resources. Leverage means we invest our time in creating a service or product (such as a teleclass series or an e-course) once, and then selling the content over and over again. Leverage means we repurpose what we do today, so that it serves us in the future. Automation is a big part of creating leverage. Leverage in our business can sometimes mean making money while we sleep. That’s the big draw of the Internet marketing world, right? Leverage has become the big buzz-word … and why not? It’s a great concept. Who wouldn’t want to do more with less? Who wouldn’t want to build a business without investing more time and energy? But guess what? If you just got your website up and running and you have NO…
“Will anyone buy that?” This is a question that comes up frequently when I talk to new clients about their core offer. See, deep down, most of us do know what value we really want to offer to others. If we’re courageous enough to go into our hearts and have a good look around, we know we want to help others with their relationships, or with their intuitive development, or with the organization of their closets, or with their optimal nutrition. We know. And we also know how we would most love to deliver that value – whether that’s through private in-person sessions, or mastermind groups, or digital products, or teleclasses, or continuity programs. The possibilities are endless … but if we get totally honest with ourselves, we DO know what we want to offer, and in what format. So why aren’t we getting on with it? Most of the time, it’s because of that question. “Will anyone buy that?” On the surface, this question is about whether we can truly make a living doing that thing that’s in our hearts. It’s a terribly disempowering question. Too many entrepreneurs base their business not on what’s authentically in their hearts, but…
Occasionally, I get a really terrific question from one of my subscribers, for which I’m really grateful. Here’s what Deborah wrote to me: “Dear Andrea, I am just amazed that you can charge what you do and people will pay it. I don’t have a good relationship with money but I couldn’t imagine that seventy-five minutes of my knowledge could be worth $997. I’m not criticizing. I am truly amazed. I would feel unable to take that much money for seventy-five minutes of my time. I suppose it’s relative to what people can pay. But in this economy, I would really like to know how you get that? I’ve taken dozens and dozens of workshops and there is nothing new except to believe in oneself. How does that happen? I meditate, I forgive, I am happy in my limited circumstances . . but I just don’t get it. I have followed your emails and looked at your success ideas, and have implemented them in my life and, well, I still have my money blocks.” I’m thrilled I get to respond to this question! First of all, we absolutely have to stop looking at how much we get paid for your…
I had a great experience last weekend that I wanted to share with you because it demonstrates how responsible we are for what we attract, and how powerful we are in the money manifesting process! Here’s what happened: I was running a Thanksgiving sale on my Soul Realignment program, and I had a fantastic response. Lots of new students applied … but a very strange thing happened. After receiving and approving a whole slew of new applications ….. nothing happened. For three days!!!! No-one actually registered for the course. What was going on? As you may know, I see money as my teacher. I look very closely at the flow of money in my business, because it tells me everything I need to know about MY state of Being. Obviously, a lot of people were interested enough in my program to apply … but no-one was actually investing! They were not taking action, they were waiting. So … I had to look at myself. What was I not taking action on? Where was I holding off on investing? What was I waiting on, even though I had every intention on taking action? We humans are great procrastinators, we really are,…
